what year were these 900 Jews refused entry?The US could not take the moral high ground when it itself was sending people to concentration camps nor when it refused to accept over 900 Jews who FDR knew would be shipped back to Nazi Germany where they were going to make lamp shades out of their skins.
.
June of 1939.
To the US at least. May of '39 to Cuba.
But most were given refuge in other countries once they were refused entrance into the US. Some of those countries were soon over-run by the Nazi's...but they were independent at the time of accepting the refugees.
How much was known about the treatment of the Jews in Germany and Austria in 1939? Poland was yet to be invaded.
